One Little Project’s Mission

At One Little Project, we believe creativity should be simple, fun, and stress-free — not complicated or intimidating. Our goal is to create beautiful and reliable tutorials that anyone can make.

That’s why we design our projects using everyday materials that are inexpensive and easy to find. We test every tutorial ourselves to make sure it really works. And we share step-by-step instructions so anyone can succeed. Whether you’re crafting with kids, making something special for the holidays, or just looking for a quick project, our mission is to help you create wow-worthy projects with confidence.

Media Features

Our work has been featured on Country Living, Women’s Day, Good Housekeeping, Fox, The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, The Food Network, Reader’s Digest, and many more.

My Story

I’m Debbie Chapman and I’m the founder, author and creator behind One Little Project. I started posting my projects online in 2012, snapping photos of the crafts and recipes I was making at home. What began as a side hobby quickly grew into a passion, and in 2016 I left my engineering career to run One Little Project full-time.

Today, One Little Project reaches millions of people every month with tutorials for everything from quick kids crafts to holiday treats.

Fun things about me:

• I have three amazing kids, two girls and a boy.
• I play the piano, love to sing and I used to be a teacher for both.
• I worked as a Mechanical Engineer for almost a decade before switching to a full-time career in digital publishing and content creation.
• I perfected my crafting skills in Architecture school where we had to make teeny tiny models of buildings.
• I sing in a choir but secretly wish I was in a Broadway musical.
• I spend my free time reading, walking, and (mostly) driving my kids to and from their activities.
• My husband is my best friend and my biggest supporter behind the scenes.

The Team Behind the Projects

One Little Project is powered by a small but incredibly talented team who brings our ideas to life in our dedicated crafting studio. We work together in person, every single day, on everything from photography and video production to writing, craft design, and strategy.

Every project is developed and tested in-house so the tutorials you see are both beautiful and easy to follow. From brainstorming the design to perfecting the final photo, our team puts incredible care into every detail so each project is fun, reliable, and easy to make at home.

Low-Mess Crafts for Kids

I released my book Low-Mess Crafts for Kids in June 2018 and it’s loaded with 72 fun and simple craft ideas for kids! The projects are fun, easy and most importantly low-mess, so the clean up is simple.

This photo was taken the day my first copy arrived in the mail. I was so excited to finally see it!

In 2024, I launched my first online course with Domestika: Clay Projects for Kids. The course was recorded in beautiful Madrid, Spain with the talented crew at Domestika.
